•rening, at Diokson** coal works, inthe vi
cinity, oflreiand station, on-ihs Allegheny
Yalley Ballroad, about nine milea from the
city. The victim was Mrs. ;Jin« Galbreath,
wife of a coal digger employed kt - the abort
named works. It appears that Mr. Galbreath
had bees at work as mbs!, on Monday, and
; returning in the evening for sapper, missed
his wife. She had " made ap” some bread
during the afternoon, which had Been left un
baked, and a portion ormeat was found upon
the fire burnt to a crisp. - Mr. ’Galbreath, sui-r
peeling that something was wrong, started
ont among the-neighbors, to search for his
wife, but failed to obtain any tidings of her.
'When be returned to the housed he was at
tracted by the singular actions of i little
■ dog, which kept running out towards * a
rabbit pen in the ‘garden, as if to draw hU
attention there. Following the little animal,
Mr. Galbreath was taken directly to his wife,
who was lying upon the ground, in an in
sensible condition.- She was stilt breathing
:but unable to speak, and scarcely able to
more a muscle; - He carried her at once to
the house, and placed her in bed, supposing
that the heat would revive her. He laid
down beside her for a time, but finding her
limbs extremely cold, he arose and bathed her
: feet with warm water. stilLremained
speeohless, and-soon after expired.
The deceased was about thirty-six years of
age, and was addieted to drinking. She had
no children, and there waa no person in the
bouse to testify as to her condition, but there
is no doubt as to her death having been caused
by drunkenness and exposure. Coroner Mc-
Clung has been notified, and will hold an in
quest this afternoon. •

From Col. Black’s Regiment.
Capt. E. S. Wright, of Col. Black's Regi
ment, has arrived home on a brief visit to his
family. Ho looks exceedingly well, and
speaks cheeringly of affairs on' the Potomac.
The health of the Regiment is excellent, and
we were surprised to learn from bim that he
had lost but one man from his company—-a
Hew Yorker, who died of consumption. With
this exception he has every man ho tookaway
with him. He also.spoaks in high terms of
tho spirit and efficiency of tho regiment, the
character of their arms, thy beauty of their
new French Zouave uniforms, etc. It will
afford pleasure to those having friends in this
corps to learn that Ae men are healthy, con
tented, and in excellent fighting trim. Thoy
are eager Tor an advance, and it is probable
that they will be ordered forward as soon as
-the Burnside expedition strikes a blow.
Distressing Accident*

school. It appears that while pasting along
the trestle work of tho Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne and Chicago Railroad, between An
derson and Sandasky streets, his foot caught
between a couple of tho timbers, and before
assistance conld bo rendered him, a train
passed along and knocked him down. The

meeting a few evenings since whereoneof our
city-pastors vu addressing his pfeople in view
of a communion that was to be administered
oil.the following Sabbath. His remarks at
the time were in refemnoe to the effieaoy of
prayer, which! I thougnt very appropriated
But he made a very unfortunate digression in
relation to the .complications of the Gover
nment and the war. He told them if this coun
try was to be saved, it must be done by the
prayers of God’Speople; he had no confidence
'in either the Government or army;saving us,
for there weri drunken members in the Cabi
net, and lest jwe should be at a loss to know
whiob one it ;jwas, he said it was the one that
moved the pen in writing the correspondence
with foreign | governments. I thought he
meant Mr; Seward. He said our officers were
drunkards, and our soldiers were drunkards;
he therefore .believed this war oonld only be
terminated and the country saved by the
prayers of God’s people. Now, gentlemen, I
did wot knoik whether to attribute such an
ebullition of feeling to a weak head or disloyal
heart —charity wonld induce me to say the
farmer (as I know it never was very strong,)
but he appears to be under the influenoe of
another gentleman, whose loyalty has been
questioned.
There may be members of the Cabinet who
take their wine after dinner, and officers and
soldiers who! drink too much, but that any
member of the Cabinet is a drunkard, or that
all our army, or a majority of them, are
drunkards, is false; and were it true, ho
should get his people to pray for a represen
tative, and keep it quiet. I know soma mem
bers of his oijn church, if drinking be a qual
ification, who' would be entitled to either a
military or Cabinet appointment, while his
people in tho! aggregate are as abstemious as
any chnreli id the city. J.
Now is sat Tike to purchase winter cloth-,

The New Depot for Prisoners of War.
The depot electing by tho government on
Lake Erie for the reception of prisoners of
w*r, is thns described by a Sandusky corres
pondent of the Cleveland Herald : ,
“Yesterday morning I made a water excur
sion over to Ball's Island, to see the buildings,
now in process of erection, for the
depot, and hiring a thought in reference, to
its sanitary position, I give yon the resnlts of
my observations.
“Ball’s Island lies within Sandusky bay,
about a mile ffom its mouth, and about two
miles from Sandusky (Ohio), with easyaooess
by a ferry. It contains about throe hundred
acresj with lime-sfone ridge in
tho centre, wiih a general descent in each .di
rection to edge, and with no marsh
ior swampy gsbund within its borders. Sixty
acres hare be§n lcasod by the government for
the purpose of, a prisoners' depot, in which to
placo the captured rebels for safe keeping, and
which will beiareody for their occupation by
the first of February next, and wbion will be
guarded, by . companies of soldiers. The

Hocas.—The House resumed the consider*
fttioa of the bill to abolisk the frankingprivi-'
lege, having been postponed bn Thursday last
till to-day.. '
Hr. Porter, of Ind., advocated the bill, and
expressed a hope that Congress'would ‘dis
tinguish itself by reforming abuses and
making the recipients pay the postage on doc
uments instead of the public at large. Several
other gentlemen expressed their views upon
the subject.
{ Hr. Hutchins, of Okibi advocated the abo-
lition of the franking privilege. He said that
while the Globe published the official proceed
ings of Congress, it was the Associated Press
that conveyed the intelligence of the proceed
ings to the great mass of the people.
Various amendments were ryacted.
The question was then takehs on striking
out all of the bill first, which
absolutely abloishcs the franking privilege
from and after the first of July, and decided In
the affirmative by a large majority.
Hr. Duell, of N» Y., offered the following
substitute, whioh was rejected: 'Proposing to
abrogate .and repeal all acts conferring the
franking privilege, the chief offieers of the
Post Office Department and .ii ib deputy Post
masters, however, to be privHiged to receive
and send communication exclusively on'officia!

send to each other, from their respective offices
of pnblication, free of postage, one copy of
each publication, and may also send to each

their papers arb. printed and one
copy thereof, free of postage. The act to

The House, in Committee of the Wholo,
took op the' hilt making an appropriation, to
carry into effect the act providing for the ex
hibition of American, products at tho World's
Pair.
. Mr. Julie n,of Md v made* a speech main
taining that slavery was the basis-of the in
surrection, and that the national, .life .and
liberty can only be saved by giving liberty
to all.
After further debate, the House tabled tho
bill by a large majority.
Adjourned.
Sbhatr.—Several petitions for the emanci
pation of slaves were presented.
Hr. Cowan, of Pa., presented the; petition
of George Harris, asking the aid of Congress
to enable' him topublish the proceedings of
the-Senate of the first Congress, from a jour
nal which had been kept by-Scnator McLano,
of Pennsylvania. Hciorred.- 1
Mr. Cowan offered a resolution making an.
appropriation of tbreo thousand dollars for

Mr. Foster, of Conn., introduced a btll to

certain persons in tho army without pay. Re-
ferred. ,
A communication was received from the
President, transmittingj|eopy of the instruc
tions sent to tho American Minister to Aus-
tria. Referred.'- ' ■ ,
Mr. Powell’s resolution was taken up, ask- ■
ing the Secretary of War to answer a previous
resolution in regard to contracts, Ac. ;
Mr. Conway hoped the resolution would not
pass. He was opposed to calling for goneral
reports from the departments, though willing.
to have any details ! called for if there was
anything of a suspicions character detected. '
Mr. Powcll contended that he wanted the
people to know the truth respecting these
contracts. '•

Mr. CarlUe said the Senate had spout time

or disturbing this delicate relation of the ne

Mr. WUson thought that the Senator from
Maine had donewell in taking notice of the
remarks of the Senator from Virginia. -Wo
had been talked to . here by Mason, and he
feared the.Sonator from Virginia was treading
in the footsteps of bis predecessor; bat he
